In Las Vegas, Max Verstappen can guarantee himself the 2024 world title by staying ahead of Lando Norris. But before the start of the race weekend, the Red Bull Racing driver is cautious in his predictions.
Max Verstappen: “At the moment it is difficult to say how everything will turn out. In the previous races on a dry track the car had no pace. You cannot say that since we won in the rain in Brazil, all problems have been solved and we have excellent prospects. Of course, thanks to the victory I now have a good chance in the individual competition, but I have to remain realistic because our car is not the fastest.
Hopefully we’ll be competitive in Las Vegas. We don’t know what the track temperature will be this weekend. Last year it was very cold. Let’s see what happens to the behavior of the tires this time. We will all discover that in the free training.”
A general presentation of all teams will take place in London in February 2025, where the car liveries for the following season will be shown. According to Liberty Media, all twenty drivers will take part in the show, but Max Verstappen has already hinted that he will skip this event.
In Las Vegas, the current world champion said that everyone took his joke too seriously: “I was joking during the stream, and people took it too seriously. In my opinion it is great for Formula 1 that all the cars and liveries are presented in one place. We will all be there, including me.
I joked that I was hoping to get sick, and everyone thought I had decided to skip the event. Let’s see how it goes. Nothing like this has ever been done before.”
